Hello now I know there are alot of guides and questions about this but I wanted to know about the epic 4g specific parts of rom making. Like getting it on a MTD partation. Anything really about the whole rom building process will be helpful too. I am going to need all the help I can get

You will probably need a ROM building mentor. I am sure you googled it already. I found some links for you in this search and most are general, specific to the Epic I had only found 2 on the first page.

While I don't know how to build a rom or theme, I do know how to port roms if you want help with that.
For themes/themed roms, you have to decompile framework-res.apk and any apks you want to theme.

Making it install to mtd has to deal with updater-script. The main parts of a rom are the kernel, init.d scripts, messing with libs, deleting bloatware, and theming it. You could also add custom ringtones and build.prop edits

I want to make a JellyBean rom!

There is a nandroid dump floating around and there are already custom roms out for other phones.
What would I have to do to convert the nandroid dump or a rom for another phone to our phones?
Could I use a 4.0 kernel in a 4.1 rom?
Also, if I flash a bad rom, I can still get into recovery and restore a good one, right?
Im new to this, but I would really like to contribute to this and maybe get a project started.
If anyone with some more experience could help answer any of my questions that would be great.

Wrong section bud.

What section do you think I should post this in?
I want to make a rom for the Incredible 2, so I thought this would be the best place to post.

Well this is a question, so the Q&A section.

Port the dump to our phone. Install the port if you can. Flash one of aeros ICS kernals one top of that. And if it boots, you have started a project. If not......... it was worth a try.
Could brick your phone, but if you wanted to start somthing this would be my best guess.

Development is for roms, not talk or asking to make one.
I'll move this to general

if you have never made a stock rom before, let alone ported a rom...and if you arent familiar w/ modding the ramdisk and hacking up jars/apks and what libs do what......
then dont bother

Telus phone rooted with clockwork mod recovery. I want stock optimized jb rom.

Hey guys, I'm super newbie to all this. I rooted my phone with an optimized ics rom about a month ago. It was a T-Mobile from however. It made my better life awesome. But it was still touch wiz etc. Then jb came out right after.
Is there a dev who is making a jb from for telus that is optimized for battery life and no touchwiz?
Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks a million.

Its regarding custom rom. I figured it was in the right spot. Move it if need be. Sorry. I'm looking for a non touch wiz rom too. Have to keep watching. Can I use any rom or just ones that are cwm?

You have two choices flash with CWM or odin. Mostly all the roms in here are setup to be flashed with clockwork. Please read the stickies in development and wickys to get yourself better acquainted with your phone and flashing...... Questions to the masses may bring up more opinions than fact.

there might be more themes in this section than question threads ABOUT themes in this section if people stopped starting threads asking questions about themes in the section.

Hi, I'm in the very early stages of learning how to theme. It could take me a good month or two, but my hopes are that I can get 2 or 3 out there to flash on base TW roms.
I won't release anything until I'm truly satisfied though.

Instead of releasing themes on this phone it seems that many decided to package as a rom. Go back a few months in the Android development section if you want a taste of something different now. Wicked Sensations, Coalition Black, Venum Boa all come to mind as themes roms I have enjoyed in the past.

Really appreciate the feedback. I had a Galaxy S II with Tmobile as well as other androids and it seemed as if we were always getting new themes. That's why I asked.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

We would have more themes if some of our "developers" would release flashable zips for the themes they are putting on the same old TouchWiz ROMs...
We want themes! Not themed ROMs!!!
Sent from my sph-d710 using xda premium

The real answer lies I think in the fact that we've only JUST NOW gotten our ICS build that will stick for a while. There was little motivation to make a theme when you have to update it every leak, which takes a lot of time. It really burns ya out. So now that we've leveled out I think we'll see some more. Or at least now I don't feel like I'll spend days on updating a theme only to find a new leak uploading as I'm creating the OP for my now outdated theme

Good ROM for a Galaxy S3 newbie?

I just came to the Sprint galaxy s3 after using HTC devices for the last decade, and the EVO series for the last two phones. I'm looking for a nice smooth ROM with a stockish feeling and a performance boost. I don't mind Touchwiz as I still learning the in's and out's of a Samsung phone. I have already rooted using the toolkit.
So can anyone give me any suggestions?

There's very many TW based ROMs in the dev section, make a nandroid and start flashing . Personally I am stock MC3 (4.1.2 Premium Suite) with an over clocked kernel and am loving it! I have not found a 100% stock (but modified) TW ROM yet, most that I find have apps missing, slightly themed, different launcher etc etc. But flash some and have fun. Figuring out what you like is the joy of flashing.

Cool. I'm used to flashing various things on my HTC devices but this is the first phone that I've had that us spread out among a lot of carriers, so I know that bad things can happen if I flash a rom from the wrong carrier.
Thanks!

Just TRY to stay in the Sprint forums and make sure its always L710 or D2spr. Follow that and you'll be fine. Lol

I have been through 5 or 6 ROM's on my S3 and none have been as stable as The Peoples Rom with the Ktoonsez kernal. Tweeked with Battery life in mind it is amazing. I first ran CM based ROMS and then FreeGS3 for a while but they always seemed to slow down and start developing issues after a few weeks. The Peoples ROM has not given me a single issue since install. LOVE IT!

MOAR or TPR.
/thread

I have played with several of the ROMs and they are all good ones. My #2 is Goodness Reborn. But without a doubt Wicked Sensations is my daily driver, it is good all the way around.

Then you haven't tried TPR yet... Kenny makes sure that his roms come with all the bloat from Sprint and Samsung since we can remove whatever we want with a root explorers or titanium backup
SPRINT GS3 FAQ

Try cleanbean or whiplashh (version 1.0) rom. Both are pretty much stock with performance in there. TPR is also awesome along with MOAR and darthstalker. I personally love cm10. (not 10.1)

Just finished flashing The Peoples Rom, looks pretty sweet so far!
He has the option to use TW launcher, Nova, Apex, or AOSP 4.2.

Try moar ROM also pretty sweet

He had a choice between 3 different tw launchers (including the completely stock gs3 one) along with other launchers you can choose during the aroma install

In fact you can install all and try them all out as well. Your not limited to one during the Aroma installer.

I just came from htc also.. Had every evo that came out. Im loving all the dope roms we have over here.. I was getting bored with my evo LTE development is dead for that phone then I get my gs3 and **its poppin over here!! :good::victory: My fav roms so far are stock rooted from freeza.. The Peoples Rom is sweet im on that one now. Senergy.. Goodness reborn.. MOAR rom

Yeah, I was getting fed up with my EVO, I loved them but things are slowing down over there and stuff was messing up a ton on the EVO. I'm happy with the GS3, and The Peoples Rom seems to be pretty awesome so far, 24 hours in.

blazer from phantomhacker is a good rom to start out with. it got me some incredible battery life and doesnt require much tweaking. One thing youll love about this device over the htcs is that if you REALLY bork things up, you can easily flash the stock rooted tar in odin to get it back to where you were before you started tinkering. Its like running the RUU on htc devices, but leaves it rooted so you dont hafta start all over with the root process. oh, and the root method is stupid easy on galaxy devices!!!

Try M.O.A.R or The peoples ROM

I've used TPR, MOAR, and others...but I always find myself going back to CLEANBEAN w KT kernel. For me it's been stable with the best battery life. As a matter fact the ones I've used are all stable...but cleanbean seems to get me the best battery.
